Hyper-V Virtual Switch Overview. Published: February 29, 2012 Updated: February 29, 2012 Applies To: Windows Server 2012 The Hyper-V virtual switch (vSwitch) in Windows Server 2012 introduces a number of capabilities that are requested by customers for tenant isolation, traffic shaping, protection against malicious virtual machines, and easier troubleshooting of issues.
This guide focuses on the improvements in open extensibility and manageability for non-Microsoft extensions. Non-Microsoft extensions can be written to emulate the full capabilities of hardware-based switches and support more complex virtual environments and solutions. The Hyper-V vSwitch is a layer 2 virtual network switch that provides programmatically managed and extensible capabilities to connect virtual machines to the physical network. vSwitch provides policy enforcement for security, isolation, and service levels. CIOs eye more outsourcing, less hardware in 2013. For 2013, chief information officers are planning to spend more on outsourcing and less on hardware and consultants, according to the Society for Information Management (SIM).
The data comes via SIM's annual CIO survey, which will be presented at the group's conference Oct. 28 through Oct. 30 in Grapevine, TX. Samsung chips evicted from iPhone 5, autopsy reveals. High performance access to file storage Fans fed up of broken iPhone screens will be pleased to hear that the new model, the iPhone 5, makes it much easier to replace the glass panel placed on top of the smartphone's display.
Deep, deep inside Intel's next-generation processor. High performance access to file storage At Intel's developer shindig last week, chippery engineers spent a goodly amount of time conducting tech sessions that detailed the company's upcoming 4th-generation Core microprocessor architecture, code-named "Haswell.
" We thought that you, inordinately intelligent and tech-savvy Reg reader, might enjoy a deep dive into their handiwork. The new Haswell microarchitecture – likely named after the tiny Colorado town and not the Australian red-groined froglet – was touted by Intel's Architecture Group headman David Perlmutter as being "designed with mobility in mind.
" Cloud “destroys time” and fracking is great innovation. High performance access to file storage.
I.B.M. Mainframe Evolves to Serve the Digital World. The new model, the zEnterprise EC12, has strengthened the traditional mainframe’s skill of reliably and securely handling vast volumes of transactions.
That is why the mainframe is still the digital workhorse for banking and telecommunications networks — and why mainframes are selling briskly in the emerging economies of Asia and Africa. The new models have added capabilities for computing chores that are growing rapidly, like analyzing torrents of data from the Web and corporate databases to predict consumer behavior and business risks. Name a trend in corporate computing — cloud computing, data center consolidation, flash-memory storage, so-called green computing — and I.B.M. executives point to tailored features in its mainframe that deliver the goods. Ways Cloud Computing Will Change by 2020. Think cloud computing is just the latest IT fad?
Think again. Forrester predicts the global cloud computing market will grow from $35 billion in 2011 to around $150 billion by 2020 as it becomes key to many organizations' IT infrastructures. According to an article on ZDNet, by 2020 cloud is going to be a major - and permanent - part of the enterprise computing infrastructure. By 2020, a generational shift will have occurred in organizations. A new generation of CIOs will be in charge that have grown up using cloud-based tools, making them far more willing to adopt cloud on an enterprise scale.
Big Picture. From bikes to games to video games to…tablets? Toys ‘R’ Us bets on Tabeo. If Amazon can create its own tablet, why not Toys ‘R’ Us?
The toy retailer takes a stand against online competitors with the Tabeo, a $149 Android 4.0 tablet that it hopes catches the attention of kiddies. Created by and available solely at Toys ‘R’ Us, the Tabeo comes with 50 games, including beloved apps Angry Birds and Cut The Rope. Built-in parental controls limit what kids can do on the tablet and how much time young ones use it. (Amazon recently announced similar controls in its latest Kindle Fire tablets.)

Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) is making an investment in the Asia Pacific Gateway (APG), a new submarine cable system running links from Malaysia to South Korea and Japan, as a way to expand membership in one of its fastest growing markets.
While recent reports indicate that Facebook's growth in the U.S. is starting to slow, traffic to its site in Japan, for instance, is on the rise. According to a recent Nielsen survey, growth in Japan "had more than doubled during the year to May, totaling 17.2 million people that month. " "Our investment in this cable will help support our growth in South Asia, making it possible for us to provide a better user experience for a greater number of Facebook users in countries like India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Singapore," a spokesman said.
Why time appears to speed up with age (idea) In a groundbreaking article, T. L. True Secret to Success: Gratitude. I'm utterly convinced that the key to lifelong success is the regular exercise of a single emotional muscle: gratitude. People who approach life with a sense of gratitude are constantly aware of what's wonderful in their life. Because they enjoy the fruits of their successes, they seek out more success.
And when things don't go as planned, people who are grateful can put failure into perspective. Pano does browser-thin virty desktops. High performance access to file storage For some end users, giving them a PC is like giving them a sports car when all they really need is a bike and a helmet – a fact of life that Pano Logic, a maker of desktop virtualization tools, aims to capitalize on.
A PC, Pano Logic knows, is way overkill for the actual work many users need to do, and they are a risk to themselves and to the corporate network when they are given responsibility for a full-blown PC. All that such users need these days is a web browser, through which they can get access to applications that run on private networks or are out there on the Intertubes. Serval: Princeton researchers tout "Layer 3.5" Internet upgrade.
Network World - Some researchers have proposed plans in recent years to reimagine what the Internet would look like if you started with a clean slate. Others, like those within the systems and networking group at Princeton University's Computer Science Department, are inventing ways to make the Internet more flexible for data center operators and more useful to mobile users by slipping technology in between layers of the current architecture. ROUNDUP: 10 really cool university networking labs. VMware will start it’s own Infrastructure As A Service public cloud codename Zephyr. VMware will start it’s own public cloud for Infrastructure as a Service soon which will compete with similar services offered by Microsoft (Azure) , Amazon and Google. The project has codename “Zephyr” which is an ancient Greek name for a breeze coming from the west.
CRN reports VMware has purchased a large part of a datacenter in Nevada for housing of the service. When VMware offers public cloud IaaS it will compete with it’s own vCloud service providers like Verizon , Blue Lock or ZX. They have been offering public cloud based on VMware solutions like vCloud Director for a while now. According to unnamed VMware sources the speed of growth of VMware solutions based public cloud is not fast enough to compete with similar services of Microsoft, Amazon and Google. The recent acquisition by VMware of Software Defined Networking firm Nicira fits well in the strategy of VMware to get a larger part of the public cloud space.

Google to launch Amazon, Microsoft cloud competitor at Google I/O 2012. Google is very likely to launch a cloud services platform at its annual developer conference, Google I/O next week in San Francisco. It was one of the topics of discussion in the hallways of our Structure 2012 conference. We have since confirmed with multiple sources who are familiar with Google’s plans which include a more comprehensive offering that its current app engine and storage offerings. The Mountain View, Calif-based Internet giant declined to comment. In early May, my colleague Derrick Harris broke the news that both Google and Microsoft were launching their competitors to Amazon later this year. Google is hard at work on a cloud computing offering that will compete directly with the popular Amazon EC2 cloud, according to a source familiar with Google’s plans.
While Amazon seems to be a target for all cloud service providers, my sources say that the real target for Google seems to be Microsoft and its developer community.
